romney from the very first answer wasn't going to be the romney we've seen on the campaign trail, known for those stinging criticisms of the president on a whole host of areas on foreign policy. he was asked about benghazi libya, something we've heard romney go hard after the president for on the campaign trail. but he didn't take the bait from the very first answer. instead, romney advisers said they wanted him to come across as measured, as moderate as somebody who had an understanding of the foreign policy issues with some depth. and there were times during this debate where it seems romney was almost delivering a book report the hotspots of the world, clearly trying to show that he will not be caricatured as a warmonger or somebody who engages in cowboy rhetoric. the president, by the same token, determined to remind him of his past statements. >> we are fortunate to have watching along with us as at least a one-night member of our team in boca raton, richard haass, the chairman of the council on foreign relations. richard, first of all, your complaint earlier tonight that these hav
